AIX Affinity: With Linux

Tags:
aix

Overview IBM is bringing Linux application interoperability to AIX 5L. Now one can run many Linux applications on AIX, a mission critical - highly scalable operating system. IBM's plans for AIX affinity with Linux are implemented in two phases. The first phase is the release of the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications, available at www.ibm.com/AIX. The AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications contains GNU and other commonly used tools helpful for recompiling an application for use on AIX. The second phase is IBM's planned inclusion of additional Linux compatible APIs and header files in AIX 5L Version 5.1 (when it releases).
